    Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu October 14, 2011

    We enjoyed our Inca Trail hike very much! The arrangements were according expectations and they certainly impressed us by serving delicious food. The hike was amazing and (except for the second day) not too hard for the average hiker. Our guide ‘Ernan’, better known as ‘Erny’ made the extra effort to make sure we had…

    I enjoyed the trip and my time shared with the fellow hikers, our guide and porters. I will recommend Inca Trail Reservations services to all my friends interested in coming to Cuzco.

    We survived the Inka Trail 4-day hike! The overall experience was fantastic. Roberto Gonzalez, our guide, was very knowledgeable. I learned so much about the Inka culture and the magnificent sites we saw along the way. All of the porters were also wonderful. They deserve so much credit for making this experience pleasant for us.…

    Machu Picchu trip October 03, 2011

    Thank you for an excellent vacation. The Inca Trail was the highlight of our trip. The Lake Titicaca floating islands and the stay with the family on the island was a close second. The long boat rides were what we liked least. The trek was challenging but the sites along the way made it most…

    Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu October 07, 2011

    The trail was magnificent, the second best trail that I have ever been on, second only to a trail that I can not mention due to confidentiality agreements. The trail involved mystery and intrigue similar to what you would find in a Steven King or Mark Dolson novel. I am both humbled and insulted by…

The hike itself was quite lovely, with beautiful scenery and full of ancient history that inspired my imagination.

    Our Inca Trail hike was the adventure of a lifetime. We had a very nice small group of like-minded travelers who all got along and joked; we made friends we will cherish for a long time. Best of all though was our guide, Victor. He was always friendly and helped us through the hardest parts…

    My trekking experience with Inca Trail Reservations was a thoroughly positive and memorable one that I would definitely recommend to anyone considering doing the Inca Trail. I am a fairly experienced hiker, and I found the trail challenging and very rewarding. I would not recommend the trek to anyone in poor shape, or who has…
